Senior Integration & Automation Engineer at Celonis · Madrid

Celonis is the global leader in Process Intelligence and the pioneer of Process Mining technology. As one of the world’s fastest-growing enterprise SaaS companies, we are changemakers pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We invest heavily in advanced AI capabilities—specifically our Process Intelligence Graph—to turn data insights into immediate business action. We believe there is a massive opportunity to unlock global productivity and sustainability by placing intelligence at the core of every business process. Join our mission to make processes work for people, companies, and the planet. The Role: We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly autonomous Senior Automation & Integration Engineer to serve as a versatile technical architect across the organization. In this hands-on role, you will act as the “Automation Engine,” directly impacting company efficiency and scalability by orchestrating end-to-end technical solutions. You will be responsible for connecting, transforming, and managing data flows across our entire systems stack through AI-driven automation. We are looking for an individual who embodies extreme ownership: someone capable of proactively engaging stakeholders, unblocking challenges, and getting things done. The Work You'll Do: Design and Build: Develop and implement robust, scalable AI automation workflows using Make as the primary integration platform to connect core business systems, with particular focus on Workday as our primary ERP. Orchestrate and Integrate: Take full ownership of technical solutions, managing data flows, transformations, and database manipulation to ensure seamless integration between tools — including Workday Finance and Workday HCM Innovate with AI: Proactively explore, evaluate, and implement AI applications (both within and outside of Make) to boost our solutions and drive operational efficiency. Collaborate and Engage: Partner with stakeholders across Legal, Finance, HR/P&C,IT and other departments to identify opportunities for automation and process improvement, acting as the technical bridge between business needs and systems capability. Experiment and Secure: Champion experimentation by testing new technologies while balancing innovation with a mindful approach to security, data integrity, and scalability — especially when handling sensitive financial and people data in Workday. Govern and Document: Contribute to the development and maintenance of documentation for automation workflows and integrations. Support the implementation of governance frameworks, including Workday integration standards and change management practices. Proactive Problem-Solving: Independently diagnose complex, cross-system issues. Identify architectural gaps and risks across end-to-end process flows. Propose creative solutions with trade-off analysis, and align recommendations to the team mission of enabling scalable, reliable, and compliant operations. Mentor and Enable: Mentor junior colleagues. Share domain knowledge through training, documentation, and team rituals. Contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning. The Qualifications You'll Need: Deep Automation Expertise:4+ years building production-grade automation workflows with Make (preferred), n8n, Zapier, or Power Automate. You design multi-step integrations with proper error handling, retries, and auditability — and you write scripts (Python and/or JavaScript) when no-code isn't enough. You understand API-based integrations, data modelling, and how to build systems that hold up at scale. Workday Integration Experience: Solid hands-on experience across Workday Finance and/or HCM — not just configuration, but a real understanding of the underlying data models and how Finance and P&C teams rely on Workday as their system of record. Practical experience building or maintaining integrations using EIBs, Workday Studio, Core Connectors, PECI/PICOF, or the Workday REST/SOAP APIs. Practical AI Application: Demonstrable experience designing and deploying AI-powered workflows, including LLM-based agents, to solve real business problems. You can evaluate AI tools critically, build structured POCs, and write clear assessment summaries — you bring pragmatism, not hype. “Get it Done” Mindset: A proactive, self-motivated approach with a bias for action. You thrive in fast-paced environments where requirements might change. Stakeholder Management: Proven communication skills and the confidence to engage with Finance and P&C stakeholders as well as technical teams, challenge assumptions, and communicate with radical candor. Curiosity: Eagerness to learn and quickly acquire new technical skills in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.
